Gu Shi didn't say anything, and Xiao Li didn't think too much about it either, so she just told him directly.
"It's that exclusive compound, the one only slightly inferior to the military compound, that's Hua Mantang's!"
When Gu Shi heard the location of his house, he was immediately startled...
Lin Qingyu, whom everyone was searching for, finally woke up, but all she could see was still darkness.
She only felt a sharp pain in the back of her head, and then she couldn't see any light at all. She didn't know if she had gone blind or what was wrong.
Lin Qingyu was quite optimistic. In any case, it couldn't change the facts, so she might as well think about what was really going on.
She realized she was sitting with her hands tied behind her back, and her arms were numb and painful.
Gradually, Lin Qingyu recalled the moment before she fainted.
She hadn't gone far from home when she ran into Li Juan, who was carrying a small basket and walking leisurely.
Upon seeing Lin Qingyu come out, he greeted her warmly.
"Qingyu, where are you going? Why are you riding your bicycle like that? Be careful not to fall!"
Li Juan looked at Lin Qingyu tenderly, but didn't say anything else. Lin Qingyu was in a hurry!
"I'm sorry, Juanzi, I'll talk to you later. I'm going out for a bit!"
But Li Juan wouldn't let her leave. She blocked her bicycle, stood there, and blocked the handlebars with her hand, refusing to move!
"Qingyu, don't be in such a hurry!"
How could Lin Qingyu not be anxious? She was in a hurry to find Gu Xichao, hoping he could make a connection and catch the human traffickers and execute them!
But Li Juan said slowly, "What's the rush? I can guess what you're thinking!"
Lin Qingyu impatiently brushed her hand away and said, "Juanzi, I really have something urgent to attend to. I'll come to your house to play another day!"
As she was about to ride away again, Li Juan was surprisingly not afraid and simply stretched out her foot to block her.
"Qingyu, we've known each other for so many years, don't I know you well enough!"
Before Lin Qingyu could get angry, Li Juan continued, "I know you've been looking for your daughter for so long yesterday. Actually, I saw her!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Qingyu looked at Li Juan with some uncertainty.
"Really? Where did you see it? Why didn't you say so at the time?"
Li Juan smiled faintly: "Don't worry, Gu Jue seemed fine at the time, so I didn't think much of it. Who knew..."
"Just tell me who it is, I'm too lazy to ask anyone for help!"
Lin Qingyu interrupted her directly, as she had originally intended to have someone investigate.
She was worried that something like this would happen again in the future, so she thought it was better to find out now, even if it was just a joke!
Seeing this, Li Juan stopped keeping Lin Qingyu in suspense and leaned closer to her.
"You know that person too, it's..."
Before Lin Qingyu could even hear the name, everything went black, and she lost consciousness.
When I woke up again, this was the scene I was in now.
I don't know how much time has passed, I don't know if my family has discovered she's missing, and I don't know where I am.
If she was kidnapped, what about Li Juan? Was she kidnapped as well?
Before Lin Qingyu could think too much, she heard the door open.
It looked like an iron gate; when you pushed it open, it made a creaking sound, just like an iron gate.
She tried to speak, but her mouth seemed to be glued shut.
The person spoke in a low voice, which sounded like a very rough male voice.
"Dinner's ready. If you start yelling or screaming later, I'll kill you! Nod if you understand!"
Lin Qingyu had no choice but to do as she was told, and she nodded obediently.
The other party seemed pleased with her sensible attitude and didn't say anything more.
As the tape was torn off, Lin Qingyu felt a burning sensation in her mouth, and she was able to speak again.
"Big brother, what are you going to give me to eat?"
Unexpectedly, she was slapped as soon as she opened her mouth, and the left side of her face immediately went numb!
Lin Qingyu also felt dizzy and couldn't recover for a while.
Immediately afterwards, the other person took something and forcefully stuffed it into her mouth.
Lin Qingyu wanted to fight back desperately, but she was afraid of being slapped again. She also noticed that the thing in her mouth seemed to be a funnel.
The next moment, with a whooshing sound, something was poured into my stomach.
Lin Qingyu almost choked, but luckily she held her breath beforehand.
Lin Qingyu's stomach quickly became bloated, and she didn't know how many minutes had passed, but she felt very uncomfortable in her stomach.
Maybe only five minutes, or maybe two minutes.
No wonder my stomach hurts so much. No one would feel good if they filled their stomach in such a short time.
When the burly man took the funnel out, Lin Qingyu tasted a little of it.
I can't quite put my finger on it, but it was a little sweet and a little disgusting.
"Drink water! This is two days' worth of food. If you dare to throw it up, you'll go hungry for another day!"
As if knowing what Lin Qingyu was thinking, the man threatened her and brought a bowl of water to her lips.
Although Lin Qingyu felt nauseous and her stomach was bloated, she had to drink it.
But as soon as she took a sip, Lin Qingyu realized that the contents of the bowl were the sour plum drink that her restaurant sold!
This person was so audacious that he dared to openly go to a restaurant to buy plum juice and then force her to drink it.
To save her life, Lin Qingyu had no choice but to gulp it down.
But as soon as she stopped drinking, the other person put away the bowl.
He then wiped the water stains off Lin Qingyu's mouth with a towel and stuck the tape on.
The sound of departing footsteps echoed, the creaking iron gate closed, and the place returned to its original state.
Lin Qingyu waited for a while. She thought that this person probably wouldn't kill her anytime soon, otherwise he wouldn't have given her food and drink.
Moreover, she suspected that this person was merely hired by someone else and was not the real mastermind behind it all.
After a while, Lin Qingyu confirmed that the other party had really left, and then carefully freed herself from the ropes.
I don't know why, but the rope binding her hands wasn't very tight; maybe the person wasn't very strong.
After relaxing her hand, Lin Qingyu rested for a while longer; her arm was truly numb!
After removing the blindfold, Lin Qingyu squinted and it took her a long time to see her surroundings clearly.
This is just a messy room, filled with all sorts of old things.
A chair with a broken leg, a cracked mirror, a child's chair that looks very dirty.
In short, you can see all sorts of old things here.
Lin Qingyu guessed that the owner of this place must be very wealthy.
She stood up, wanting to take a few steps forward, but found that her feet were also tied with ropes, which looked much more difficult to untie.
Because she was afraid that the person from earlier might come over at any moment, Lin Qingyu would stop every now and then while untying the rope to listen to the sounds outside.
After finally finding a way to solve the problem, Lin Qingyu felt waves of nausea.
